So is that socialism...the government having to take matters in it's own hands...or capitalism as some business has to be enlisted?</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">Henry,</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">What I said can't be a wrong assumption because it is not an assumption.  It is simply a possibility.  </span></span></p>
